A New York DJ In Connecticut's Court

I don't know how the Nutmeg State survived the events described in this New York Times article, dated June 18, 1992. I'll let the opening paragraph speak for itself.

"On cue: three, two, one . . . Welcome once again everybody to "Weicker in the Morning," where wacky, caustic morning deejay Gov. Lowell P. Weicker Jr. interviews New York radio jock Don Imus, who is pretending to be Governor of Connecticut for a day..."

My favorite line: "Mr. Imus...chafed that he didn't have "real power" because he couldn't execute any death-row inmates, or even taunt them on the telephone about the fall television lineup that they won't be able to see."

If you want to read more about "Imus, Rex, Gubernator per diem," click here.

The Death penalty humor isn't new, in fact I was reading this yesterday, on the Onion..I have been reading the Onion for years online. It was started by some Catholics in Wisconsin? I think it got sold...anyway Bernard McGuirk, kind of Catholics.

They are the kind of Catholics you would feel safe leaving your kids with...except they wouldn't do a very good job watching them.

Floridian: Peeling the Onion ... at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where the Onion was founded in 1988. ... A couple of the writers were raised as Catholics but are no longer religious. ...www.sptimes.com/2005/04/12/Floridian/Peeling_the_Onion.shtml - 70k -

Those dopes at CBS...lol...there's also a big shakeup going on over there in the Advertising, Marketing and Sales departments of CBS Radio, because, gee....the people there don't know what they're doing...
